IS IT WORTH IT?

I've gotten SUCH mixed reviews about Salt, can you guys please let me know if it is worth it or not? I'm going to make a poll, so feel free to vote OR comment this post, it'd be much appreciated :)

I know i shouldn't really care on what people are saying and I should see it for myself, but tickets aren't exactly cheap anymore so i'd rather go only if i know that it's worth it.

Quentin Tarantino


Quentin Tarantino really impressed me this week. The other night, I slept over at my friend Ynes's house and we always have a tradition of basically ordering in and watching movie after movie until our eyes cannot stay open. So, she finally got me to watch Inglorious Bastards, and all I can say is wow. That movie really caught me off-guard, I certainly did not expect it to be so good as it was. The acting, the humor, the music, the editing and script, all was so well put together. Kudos to Brad Pitt as well, his character was a favorite of mine.

Followed by Inglorious Bastards, we then watched Kill Bill. I saw Kill Bill before, however I was a lot younger at the time and simply did not follow the story line very well. The next morning at Ynes's, we then watched Kill Bill 2. I loved both of them, and obviously understood them now. Quentin Tarantino should really be proud of himself, as well as Uma Thurman, the main character in both films. Again, I am a fan of the music selection and script for both Kill Bill Volumes and Inglorious Bastards. Tarantino definitely has an altogether great style to directing movies and it never fails to entertain me.

Word on the street is that Kill Bill 3 is coming out as well! However, in 2014, bummer.

for anyone who has not seen Inglorious Bastards or Kill Bill Vol 1 and/or 2., GO WATCH NOW.

Apologies!

I'm sorry i've been completely MIA for a while. Kind of been catching up on sleep and resting a lot this past week but this weekend and upcoming week and weekS, i'll be doing a lot of filming. I've been working simultaneously on two projects. One of the projects was the first one i started about 3 weeks ago, which is my documentary on the Lower East Side and its remaining culture, why people love it, why it's stands out versus other neighborhoods, etc. I for a while now, have said I was going to use this (what I'm guessing will be around 10 minute long film) for my admissions into colleges which i'll be applying to for film/photography/cinematography. However, as i've done more and more research on what colleges require for art portfolios, i've realized that i need to send them a much shorter video, nothing longer than 2 and a half minutes.

This realization is what inspired my newest project that i'm also working on. What I've decided to send to these colleges I'll be applying to will be about a 2 to 2 and a half minute stop-motion film that might possibly have time lapse effects weaved throughout it. As for a theme, I've come up with something along the lines of life's simplistic beauties. This idea that the most simple things in life are what make it beautiful.

I'm hoping to finish this stop-motion film by the end of August, including all of it's editing, etc. As for the documentary, keep an eye out! I'm hoping to finish by End of September, so Fall I guess. I'll probably be updating my followers more and more about that. I need to schedule more interviews for that project and set time aside to really work on that considering that project/film is a lot more to handle.

That's my life as of now!

Radiohead never fails

Radiohead never fails to make interesting videos, but this particular music video for their song "All I need", has got to be one of their most beautiful ones.
Check it out

Check this out!

Hey Guys, check out this link.
It's an australian anti-speeding ad that's filmed so well, whoever did this really had an eye for this. But they managed to film it in correlation to the mood that was to be aimed for throughout the video as well, really well done.
